do your closets have
swing open doors or sliding doors? Almost all of the closets here have sliding doors. The kids both have walk in closets with swing out doors though.
I'm finding that with all these sliding doors that I miss having the little extra organizers to hang on a swing out door and also am having a problem with a couple of the sliding doors coming off the rails. ugh Two right now are causing me to get downright frustrated each time I open them. I don't know why they are coming off the tracks either. I've started keeping the computer room closet open because I can't stand fighting with it when I need to slide it open.

I have sliding closet doors but I do plan to change them to the swing out kind in the near future, they are just so much easier and makes getting into the closet easier also

Swing doors but it doesn't really matter, they are so small you can barely put anything in them. Old Victorian homes are not known for closets, never mind large ones.

We have all sliding doors and I hate them. I'm hoping as we remodel we can put in swing doors.

I have a 100 yr old Victorian myself. There's absolutely no storage.

The house I'm in was built in 1912.... no closet space!! Not good! There are swingout doors that look like a closet will be behind them, but they're only a couple of feet deep, at MOST. UGH! Hannah's is less than a foot deep!

We're about 1/2 and 1/2 here. My bedroom and Kathryn's bedroom have swing out doors. Lauren's room and the closet in the hall have the sliding doors though. I hate them. They're always coming off the track and it's really causing problems on my hardwood floors in the hallway

My childrens room had bi fold doors but i took them down and hung a curtain. My room is a swing out door no problems with it and a pretty decent size closet, as long as i get rid of things i dont wear.
